The Legal Nature and Concept of a Conflict of Interests

The article discusses that conflict of interest these days is the focus of attention of many theorists and practitioners, not only in jurisprudence, but also in a number of other humanities disciplines. Legal scholars for the most part consider conflicts of interest in the anti-corruption spectrum. Many issues still remain controversial, ranging from the legal nature of a conflict of interest to determining the stages of its occurrence. The author of the article points out that, despite the fairly extensive regulatory framework regulating this issue, there are a number of gaps in the legislation, and the tools for resolving and ending conflicts of interest are not sufficiently developed. The legislator primarily focuses on eliminating an existing conflict of interest, while the cause of the issue remains unresolved.
